Chapter 69: Qin Hao's Calculations
When Jixiang saw Mama Wei leaving, he didn't stop him, but only ordered someone to put Jinwen down.
Jin Wen was whipped more than a dozen times, he was already semi-unconscious, and the only mind he had was used to bite his lip tightly and not let himself beg out loud, and he felt that he was put down in a daze, and when the first whip hit his body, he felt a hot pain, and then the pain was far away, and he only felt that the skin and flesh on his body were numb, but the pain still spread to his brain, and there was an itchy feeling in the back, an itch in his heart.
Jin Wen naturally didn't know, this is because the cowhide whip in the palace rubbed the wire, soaked in the potion, hit the body painfully, itchy after the beating, and when the flesh is scratched and touched the wound, it will hurt again, and those who have survived the pain of whipping may not be able to survive this kind of heart-piercing itch, and they can't help but scratch.
Jixiang saw that Jinwen's face was pale because of the pain, her lips were bitten by herself and bled out, and her clothes were whipped to the point that the place was already tattered, and the flesh and blood were blurred, and it was also a big trouble to remove the clothes when the blood was dry, so she hurriedly asked the two people to carry them back to the study for someone to take care of, and asked people to call the imperial doctor.
Mama Wei ran back to the main courtyard and told the Li family that after the prince sent Jixiang back to stop the execution, the Li family was jealous and hateful: "I actually let people rush back to save her, this cheap maid is so important!" ”
"Niangniang, now is not the time to talk about this, if the prince comes to ask you about this, you have to think of a good explanation first." Mama Li, who was standing on the side, was also anxious at this time, and hurriedly reminded.
Being reminded by her like this, the Li family remembered that if Qin Hao came to ask for the crime, how would she deal with it?
"What are you afraid of, but she is a palace maid, you are the crown princess, just because she is disrespectful to you, how to deal with her is not wronged." Mama Wei replied on the side, "For the sake of a cheap maid, can the prince still be angry with you?" At most, the mother said a few soft words, and it passed. ”
Mama Wei thought very simply, since they got married, the prince spent the night in the main courtyard except for two nights in the study, and he also respected his mother, so he wouldn't turn his face with the housewife for a palace maid.
Li was also relieved by Mama Wei's words, "If the prince asks, he will say that Han Jinwen did not welcome me, and he will contradict me with his words." Tell me to go down, if the prince asks, just reply like this. ”
Mama Li was a little unimpressed, but she didn't say more, thinking that she would still persuade Li if she had the opportunity.
When Qin Hao returned to the East Palace, Imperial Physician Hong was treating Jinwen for treatment, this kind of trauma is not much to see, Imperial Physician left a bottle of healing medicine, and instructed not to bandage, wipe the wound with more water, if the wound feels itchy, the patient must not scratch it, and I happened to meet Qin Hao when I went out.
"Imperial Doctor Hong, how is Han Nushi's injury?"
"Your Highness," Imperial Physician Hong said, "Han Nushi is a traumatic injury and needs to recuperate for a month. ”
"Will the wound leave a scar?" If Han Jinwen was covered with wounds, how would he explain to them when Han Jinshu and Wang Rui entered Beijing, Qin Hao had a headache when he thought of this.
"This ...... Maybe the scar can't be completely erased, and the whip in the palace ...... However, Xia Guan will try his best to prepare some medicine to eliminate scars and send them to Han Nushi, even if it can't be completely eliminated, at least it can be lightened. Seeing that the prince was so nervous, Imperial Physician Hong didn't dare to guarantee that he could completely remove the scar, so he had to reply.
"Will it be scarred?" Qin Hao had another headache, and waved his hand to ask Imperial Doctor Hong to step back.
Imperial Physician Hong bowed and retired with his little medicine boy.
Ji Xiang stood at the gate of Jinwen's courtyard, and when he saw Qin Hao, he said: "Prince, the slave came back late, and when he arrived, he had already been executed, and Han Nushi was beaten with seventeen lashes. ”
"How's she?" Qin Hao knew that the whip in the palace was powerful, and although Imperial Doctor Hong said that it was only a traumatic injury just now, if the trauma was infected, there were many people who died because of it.
"Before the person came to his senses, the slave let the two of them take care of them inside, and they had already changed their clothes and wiped their bodies for Han Nushi."
"What the hell is going on, have you asked?"
"I just asked a few minions who are waiting here, they said that the crown princess Niangniang asked people to pick the lock of the corner door in the backyard, and after bringing people in, Wei Mama, who was next to the princess, said that Han Nushi did not report in time to hand over the key, and greeted the late, it was disrespectful, let the thirty whips......" Jixiang said the words of several servants serving in the study one by one, after all, this matter is about the princess, not something he can discuss, and he will wait to show it after retelling.
"You go and check, the crown princess and the people around her, have seen anyone ask something after entering the palace." Qin Hao frowned, it sounds like the Li family's play today is completely aimed at Jinwen, for which one?
Hearing that Jixiang said that people were changing Jinwen's clothes and wiping his body, it was not easy to go in, after he returned to the study, he picked up the book at random and turned a few pages, and put it down, now his reputation is increasing, there are many Chinese officials who have surrendered to him, and the generals outside, after the battle of Beijung, he originally hoped that a group of people he promoted could gradually replace some key positions, and slowly accumulate for two years, this military power will also be there, Han Jinshu is a person he is very optimistic about, can be literate and martial.
In fact, he knew very well that after the Battle of Jizhou, even if he didn't promote Han Jinshu, Xiao Ping would recommend him, and his own promotion only made Han Jinshu one more general, which was not a big favor. When he was young, he was his companion for a few years, but with the transfer of Master Han to Shuozhou, he has not seen him for many years, and when it is really time to employ people, he may not be dead set on his side, after all, he has not paid attention to the death of Master Han, and he has not given any big favors to the Han family.
When he knew that Han Jinwen was Han Jinshu's sister, he decided to leave her in the palace first, in case the first imperial brother or other imperial brothers and brothers went to woo Han Jinshu, he only had to tell him that Jinwen was in the East Palace, and believed that with the feelings of their brother and sister, Han Jinshu would definitely be on his side.
Later, after a few small talks, he admired and admired Han Jinwen, if he hadn't repeatedly reminded himself that Han Jinwen was already famous, maybe he couldn't help but be tempted, my fair lady, good gentleman, not to mention that he always wanted to have someone who could live and die with him through adversity and hardship, Han Jinwen did it to Wang Rui, so if he followed himself, he would do the same to himself.
This idea was not until the Shuozhou victory came, after Wang Rui became famous in the first battle, he was completely extinguished, a Han Jinwen can help him win the hearts of Han Jinshu and Wang Rui, the two generals, this is a good deal.
But why did the Li family suddenly target Han Jinwen now? She obviously explained the matter of the inner study and asked her not to ask, but she ignored her orders in vain? When choosing Li as the crown princess, he naturally inquired about Li's character, saying that her personality was a little cowardly, although she had learned to be in charge of the family with her mother at home, she was just mediocre, and now it seems that where is this Li cowardly? The table is not mediocre, but too prominent, Li's Ah, Li's, I hope you don't let me down.
